time, dared to oppose this doctrine
You. the sons of such men, had no new
lesson to learn when you came across
the Atlantic. You had already been
taught to distinguish between liberty
and license. Anarchism has v been
indigenous to the roll of Norway.
American institutions would in no re-
spect have suffered, if, in your case, no
period of probation had been required
before swearing allegiance to this gov
eminent.
A love of liberty and enlightenment
90 hand-in-hand.
OF the spirit of your people think
may be permitted to speak. For twen-
ty two years l have lived among
you as a teacher of the young, and OF
t emany that it has been my privilege to
instruct more than half have come from
your families. OF this large class it is
but Just to say that in manly and wo-
manly character, as well as zeal for
learning, they have stood second to no
other class of students.
1t has been a source of pleasure and
encouragement to me to follow these
young people out into the active duties
of life and see them win for themselves
positions of usefulness and honor. If
you look into our higher institutions of
learning, from Johns Hopkins down,
everywhere you find yourselves repre-
scented by professors and students of
high rank.
May you transmit to your children
with unfinished strength the Sc two
prominent rtaits of your people: a love
of liberty and of enlightenm ent. The
18th of May is yours by inheritance;
may the 4th of July be as truly yours
by adoption.
